ProMat Seminars Sneak Peek: 5 Seminars for the latest in Automation and Rack
ProMat 2025 and ProMat Seminars are right around the corner, scheduled to run from March 20th to March 23rd, 2025 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Considering that ProMat is the single largest trade show for those working in the order fulfillment, supply chain management, and warehouse industries, it’s easy to understand why everyone is looking forward to the show.
For most attendees, time spent at the show is largely dedicated to meeting with potential customers, solutions providers, and partners, as well as scoping out the competition. But while those activities are obviously important, the teams that tend to get the most value out of attending ProMat are the ones that make a point of attending at least a handful of the ProMat seminars that take place over the course of the event.
